Jason Whitlock doesn’t appear to be a fan of Patrick Mahomes and the personal decisions he makes with the love of his life.

Former ESPN columnist Jason Whitlock is no doubt a fan of Mahomes and what he does on the field, as he displayed by raving about the two-time MVP and him not taking sides in the presidential elections.

He also showed him love for staying true to his high school sweetheart, now wife Brittany Mahomes, but he did not leave it there. He also snuck in a shot at her.

He likes and respects Mahomes for sticking with his wife but noted that Brittany Mahomes isn’t the most polished person and that he is stuck with her, likely alluding to the fact that they have two children and are married.

“I am not saying that she is unattractive. I’m not remotely saying that. But he has stayed loyal, and again, she’s not the most polished person, but he loves her. He’s stuck with her. I like and respect that about Patrick Mahomes,” Whitlock stated on his fearless podcast.

 

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany have been together since high school and have heard everything said about them from thousands of people. Being married to one of the world’s most influential people comes with challenges, including backlash.

Many so-called NFL fans have taken shots at Brittany Mahomes about her looks, even going as far as to state that Patrick Mahomes should’ve upgraded to a better-looking woman once he got money and became famous.

For her part, the wife of the Chiefs quarterback largely ignores what people say about her, but sometimes, she has to lash back out at them.

Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been quiet about the certain backlash she gets from haters, but she found a nice way to respond back to them.

Back in 2023, social media users noticed that Brittany liked a tweet that defended her from the onslaught of criticism.

“People hating on @BrittanyLynne makes me so ANGRY,” read the tweet in question. “Jealousy is really ugly y’all. She is enjoying her life with her husband and kids, and y’all are….. sitting behind a computer talking bad about someone you don’t know!!!!! “

Post Malone unintentionally disturbed the BeyHive after sharing a gushing tribute to Taylor Swift on Instagram, in which he described her as a ‘once in a lifetime’ artist.

Following the release of their new track, Fortnite, which serves as the lead single on Tortured Poets Department, and music video, in which he portrays her love interest, the 28-year-old rapper shared a sweet black and white polaroid of them, along with a heartfelt caption.

‘It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift comes into this world,’ he wrote. ‘I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey. I love you so much. Thank you Tay.’

Although most of his 25.8 million Instagram followers and Swifties found the post thoughtful, his words ruffled some Beyoncé fans’ feathers.

Fans of the superstar pointed out the striking difference in his tribute to Swift versus the brief one he made to honor the Texas Hold ‘Em hitmaker after he was featured on her track, Levii’s Jeans, released last month.

In stark comparison to his post for Swift, Malone simply shared a photo of the Cowboy Carter album cover and one sentence under it, reading: ‘i love you @beyonce.’

On Sunday, one X user shared a side-by-side comparison of his tributes to his respective collaborators to highlight the difference in lengths, which has been viewed 5.8 million times.

‘I find this so interesting,’ the Beyoncé fans wrote.

One reply suggested that Malone might just have a ‘closer relationship with Taylor than with Beyoncé.’

‘Taylor wrote two posts about him. He gave her same energy. Stop crying for God’s sake,’ another wrote back.

A third wrote: ‘You are acting like as if he’s cursing on Beyoncé or he said something bad like… I don’t see any problem at all.’

‘Ok, but a complete sentence would have been nice is all,’ the original poster fired back.

 

Swift and Malone’s emotional Fortnight music video was released on Friday after her long-awaited album dropped.

The Grammy winner initially uploaded a black and white teaser to her fans on Thursday ahead of the music video’s premiere.

The songstress was not only joined by Post but also Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, who made surprise cameos.

Moments before the video started, a countdown clock appeared on the screen with the sound of typewriters clicking away in the background.

A title card then appeared with ‘Fortnight’ and mimicked the beginning of a silent film.

The video then cut to Taylor laying on a bed with no mattress while chained to the railing. The bed itself was placed high up on a wall inside a large room that appeared to be inside an asylum.

A doctor then walked in upside down on the ceiling while holding a tray of medication, with a bottle of pills being labelled ‘Forget him.’

Taylor donned a strapless gown from the Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the video, which had a dramatic neckline and fitted bodice.

The skirt portion contained layered details as well as a thigh-high slit on the left side.

She paired the stunning piece with sheer, white gloves as well as a custom, vintage diamond watch choker from Joseph Saidian and Sons.

Taylor opted for a smoky shadow around her eyes as well as a bold tint to her lips, and her eyebrows were covered up while a thinner brow was pencilled in, similar to 1920s style.

In the video, Taylor is seen running up to Post Malone and the two shared an embrace on an open road in the middle of the desert. Dark, greying clouds could be seen above them.

A brief montage showed the pair cosying up together as they shared a few sweet moments. At one point, the rapper cupped Taylor’s face in his hands, causing her to flash a happy smile.

The singers stared into each other’s eyes while Post Malone’s tattoos could no longer be seen on his face in the moving scene. A tornado of papers whirled around them as the songstress reached out her hands towards Malone.

The music video jumped to Taylor back inside the asylum while surrounded by doctors, played by Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and John Charles. Post Malone was also seen as one of the doctors.

 

Ethan and John began to do what appeared to be a form of electroshock therapy on Swift. But Malone turned off the power to save Taylor.

Not long after the music video released on Friday, Taylor took to her main Instagram page to share a series of behind-the-scenes images.

She also shared a message to her fans about the meaning behind the music video and penned, ‘When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.’

‘Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another. For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it.’

She gushed, ‘@postmalone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration.’

‘I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, @ethanhawke and @mrjoshcharles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets).’

In a candid new interview, global superstar Rihanna has opened up about her relationship with rapper A$AP Rocky and the anxieties she faces as a new mother. The couple, whose romance first made headlines in 2020, has often been in the spotlight, but only recently has Rihanna shared deeper insights into her personal life, shedding light on the complexities of love under the glare of public scrutiny and the silent worries of motherhood.

Speaking from her home in Los Angeles, Rihanna described her relationship with A$AP Rocky as one built on a deep, intrinsic understanding and mutual respect, which she values immensely. “It’s different when you have a relationship that’s so public. It’s not just your relationship anymore but everybody else’s,” Rihanna explained. She emphasizes how maintaining a private sphere within the expansive public eye requires constant negotiation and careful boundary-setting. “We try to keep what’s private, private, but at the same time, we understand the reality of our lives,” she added.

This balance of public and private has been particularly challenging due to the couple’s high-profile status. Rihanna admits that the media scrutiny has made her more cautious in her relationship. “Every step you take is analyzed. It can be overwhelming and it does make you think twice about certain things,” Rihanna shared, hinting at the pressures that come with celebrity relationships.

Transitioning to motherhood, Rihanna expressed both immense joy and significant fear. The birth of her child has been a transformative experience, marked by profound love and occasional uncertainty. “Becoming a mother is a huge change,” she said, her voice tinged with emotion. “You want to do everything right, and there’s this fear of even the smallest mistakes. It’s a mix of immense happiness and a lot of fear.”

Rihanna also touched upon how motherhood has reshaped her identity and priorities. She noted that her career, while still important, has taken a backseat to her role as a mother. “Your priorities shift in a major way. What matters the most changes, and everything is now about making sure my child is happy and healthy,” she explained.

Despite these challenges, Rihanna remains positive and hopeful about the future. She sees her fears not as obstacles but as motivations to grow and learn in her new role. Her relationship with A$AP Rocky provides a supportive foundation, giving her strength and reassurance in her journey through motherhood.

The singer’s openness provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of music’s biggest icons. It highlights the universal challenges of balancing public visibility with private happiness—a tightrope walk of protecting personal spaces while navigating the expectations of global stardom. Rihanna’s journey through motherhood and her relationship with A$AP Rocky underscores the complexity and beauty of life in the limelight, marked by both its unique challenges and its profound rewards.

Travis Kelce did not attend Taylor Swift’s inaugural Eras Tour concert in Buenos Aires on Thursday, instead choosing to show his support for Patrick Mahomes, his quarterback.

While Swift performed for fans in Argentina, Travis attended Mahomes’ third annual Mahomies Foundation Gala, which included an auction. The foundation posted a video of Travis at the event, which took place at The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, on Instagram.

Mahomes’ foundation is “dedicated to improving the lives of children through initiatives that focus on health, wellness, underserved communities, and other charitable causes,” according to their website. It was created in 2019.

Travis still has the possibility to watch Swift play in Argentina’s capital city. She will perform there on Friday and Saturday.

During a recent episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, which he co-hosts with his older brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, the two suggested that Travis was headed “somewhere sunny.”

“Got anything you’re looking forward to going to?” Jason, 36, asked his younger brother, who had a bye week following the Chiefs’ victory over the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany.

Travis Kelce laughs off an NFL commentator’s Taylor Swift puns amid dating rumors: ‘Well Played’ “I may just say f— it and go somewhere nice, I don’t know.” “My skin is turning pale, so I need to go somewhere sunny,” the tight end replied.

This prompted Jason to inquire whether this region with sunshine was “closer to the equator.”

Others seemed to agree that the retreat would benefit the professional athlete.

“I think the bye week is a great time to get away from football, and I think that’s the idea,” Eli Manning told PEOPLE exclusively on Thursday. “It is the time to rest the body, rest the mind a little bit, recharge yourself to get ready for that second half of the season.”

Swift and Travis have spent a lot of time together since their public announcement in mid-October. 

The “Love Story” singer fueled dating rumors when she attended three Kansas City Chiefs games in September, but it wasn’t until the couple made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live’s season 49 premiere that Swifties went crazy.

After the event, a source told PEOPLE that the couple had a PDA-filled date night at an afterparty at Catch Steak.

According to the insider, the couple stayed at the party “until after 4 a.m.,” and Travis kept “touching her, putting his hand on her lower back or putting his hands on her waist, and then they would do a little kiss.”

Travis and Taylor made it official on Instagram in late October — sort of.

The “You Belong With Me” singer posed for a shot with her beau, kissing him on the cheek as they stood alongside his teammate Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend Chariah Gordon. The adorable photo made it on social media.

“I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her — the friends and family,” Travis previously stated regarding her appearances at his games.

“It is gradually becoming more serious. Another insider told PEOPLE in late October that Travis and Swift share a strong work ethic, a deep respect for life and their careers, as well as a strong family bond and morals.

Last night, music icon and fashion mogul Rihanna turned heads and set cameras flashing as she stepped out in West Hollywood. Known for her daring fashion choices and ability to own any look, Rihanna did not disappoint, wearing a striking animal print outfit complemented by an array of sparkling diamonds.

Rihanna’s ensemble was a masterclass in bold fashion statements. She wore a long, flowing animal print dress that clung gracefully to her curves, featuring a high slit up the side that added an extra touch of allure. The print was a mix of leopard and zebra, blended in a way that only someone of Rihanna’s fashion caliber could pull off.

Accessorizing the look, Rihanna opted for large, diamond-studded earrings and several layers of diamond necklaces that shimmered brilliantly under the streetlights and paparazzi flashes. Her shoes were black stilettos, simple yet elegant, which perfectly complemented the complexity of her dress.

Rihanna was seen entering one of West Hollywood’s most exclusive dining spots, where she was reportedly meeting with close friends for a dinner. The restaurant, known for its privacy and high-profile clientele, was the perfect setting for a star of her magnitude to enjoy a night out without too much interference from the outside world.

True to form, Rihanna’s makeup was as flawless as her outfit. Opting for a bold, smoky eye and nude lips, she let her outfit do the talking while her facial features were subtly enhanced. Her hair was styled in long, loose waves that flowed down her back, adding a touch of softness to her otherwise edgy look.

As expected, fans and media alike were quick to react to Rihanna’s stunning appearance. Social media platforms buzzed with photos and videos of her as she made her way through WeHo, with fans praising her fearless fashion sense and her ability to consistently redefine trends.

Rihanna’s latest outing is a reminder of why she remains a fashion icon. Her choice of bold animal prints and dazzling diamonds for a casual night out encapsulates her unique style and charisma. Each public appearance is a statement, not just about fashion but about confidence and self-expression. Rihanna continues to inspire and captivate, proving time and again that she is a force to be reckoned with in both the music and fashion industries.

In a recent candid interview, global superstar Rihanna opened up about her personal life, touching on topics ranging from potential plastic surgery to her relationship with A$AP Rocky and the possibility of expanding their family.

Rihanna addressed the rumors surrounding her potential plastic surgery with her characteristic frankness. “I believe in doing whatever makes you feel good about yourself,” she stated. The singer emphasized that while she hasn’t made any decisions yet, she’s open to the idea of cosmetic procedures in the future. “It’s about feeling confident and happy in your skin, whether that involves surgery or not,” Rihanna added, advocating for body positivity and self-love.

On the topic of her relationship with A$AP Rocky, Rihanna glowed with happiness. The couple, who have been together publicly since 2020, share a deep bond and understanding. “Rocky is not just my partner but my best friend,” she shared. Their relationship has been a pillar of strength and mutual respect, which has only deepened with the birth of their child.

Discussing how parenthood has influenced their relationship, Rihanna noted, “It’s brought us even closer. We share this beautiful responsibility of raising a beautiful, strong child.” The couple’s first child was born in May 2022, and their journey into parenthood has been a significant theme in their lives.

When asked about the possibility of having more children, Rihanna smiled and hinted that she’s definitely open to the idea. “I love being a mother, and having more kids is something I dream about,” she revealed. While she didn’t confirm any immediate plans for a third child, it’s clear that expanding their family is a cherished prospect for both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.

Despite her busy personal life, Rihanna remains highly active in her professional endeavors. She spoke about balancing her time between her family, her music career, and her business ventures, including her successful beauty and lingerie lines. “It’s about prioritizing and balancing,” she explained, “You learn to make time for what you love.”

Rihanna’s interview offered a rare glimpse into her private world, one where personal choices, deep relationships, and family dreams take center stage. As she navigates the complex interplay of fame, personal happiness, and family life, Rihanna continues to inspire many with her authenticity and open-hearted approach to life’s challenges and joys.

In the latest hip-hop release stirring up the music scene, ASAP Rocky appears to throw shade at Drake over his well-documented admiration for Rihanna. This jab comes through a verse on a new track featured in Metro Boomin and Future’s much-anticipated album. The line quickly caught the attention of fans and critics alike, sparking discussions and debates across social media and music platforms.

ASAP Rocky, who has been romantically linked to Rihanna since 2020, seemingly addresses Drake’s previous public displays of affection towards Rihanna, which have been a hot topic in celebrity news circles for years. Drake’s history with Rihanna includes a very public profession of love at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2016, among other instances that have fueled rumors and speculations about his feelings towards the Barbadian superstar.

The specific lyrics in question have ASAP Rocky using clever wordplay and sharp references, which fans and listeners have interpreted as a direct hit at Drake’s long-rumored “obsession” with Rihanna. This lyrical move is notable not just for its boldness but also for the fact that it adds a new layer to the existing dynamic between the three high-profile artists, further entangling their public narratives.

The track itself is part of a larger project by Metro Boomin and Future, which features collaborations with several big names in the industry. However, it’s Rocky’s contribution that has stolen the spotlight, given his personal connection to Rihanna and the ongoing public interest in their relationship status. His verse adds a personal touch to the album, making it not only a musical but also a conversational piece.

The reaction to ASAP Rocky’s lyrics has been mixed, with some fans applauding his candidness, while others criticize the move as unnecessary drama. Nonetheless, this development is a reminder of how personal relationships often spill over into professional realms in the music industry, influencing content and creating additional layers of meaning in the music.

This lyrical dig has certainly set the stage for potential responses, either through music or public comments, especially from Drake, who is known for his lyrical prowess and has not shied away from addressing personal issues in his tracks. As the story unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the relationships and music careers of those involved.

For now, the track remains a hot topic, contributing significantly to the buzz surrounding Metro Boomin and Future’s album. It highlights the complex interplay of personal relationships and public personas in the music industry, where lines often blur, creating as much drama off-stage as on.

The Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat is already well underway as Patrick Mahomes was once again seen practicing with quarterback trainer Jeff Christensen – this time with teammate Travis Kelce.

Mahomes and Kelce smiled as they posed with ex-NFL passer for a photo, which Christensen shared on his Instagram story.

According to Christensen’s story, the trio worked out at Colleyville Heritage High School in Texas.

Christensen played for the Bengals, Eagles and Browns after being drafted in the fifth round of the 1983 NFL Draft.

Earlier this month, Mahomes was seen working out with new teammate Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown and Christensen.

In a video posted to Instagram, the former Ravens and Cardinals speedster flashed his speed as he went out for passes from Mahomes.

Brown signed a one-year, $7 million contract with Kansas City in March.

The Chiefs’ offense welcomed another receiver on Thursday when the team selected former Texas receiver Xavier Worthy in the NFL Draft.

And former Panthers star Luke Kuelchy believes Kelce will thrive with Brown and Worthy playing alongside him.

Asked on the Up & Adams show how the Chiefs will use Worthy next year, Kuelchy said: ‘You’ve go to imagine they are going to utilize that speed on some deep balls, big overs, some zoom sweeps.

Kelce helped Kansas City win a Super Bowl last year and now has even more talent beside him

‘I think the biggest winner this offseason with the Chiefs is Travis Kelce. You bring in Marquise Brown, vertical speed down the field, Xavier Worthy, vertical speed down the field.

‘So now there is going to be all these layers and space for Travis Kelce to run around more than he has been able to and catch these balls so uncontested.

‘These guys are running down the field on overs and crossers and Travis Kelce can just run underneath and catch the ball.

Kelce was his typically impressive self last season, though he failed to register 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015.

Rihanna, ever the trendsetter, has once again captivated the fashion world by taking the pantsless look to new heights. Renowned for her bold style choices and influence in fashion, Rihanna was recently spotted embracing this daring trend, proving that she can redefine any fashion statement and make it uniquely her own.

The pantsless trend, which has been seen on various celebrities and runways, involves styling an outfit that omits trousers, instead relying on oversized shirts, blazers, or bodysuits to create a striking look. Rihanna, known for her fearless approach to fashion, adopted this trend and infused it with her signature flair, making a public appearance that was both chic and audacious.

Dressed in an oversized designer blazer paired with statement accessories, Rihanna turned heads and set flashbulbs popping. Her choice of a minimalistic yet bold ensemble highlighted her confidence and fashion-forward mindset. The outfit was complemented by high-end heels and a bold makeup look that emphasized her natural beauty, reinforcing her status as a fashion icon.

What sets Rihanna apart in the fashion stakes is her ability to wear something unconventional yet make it appear effortlessly stylish. Her interpretation of the pantsless trend not only adheres to the current fashion zeitgeist but also elevates it, showcasing her role as a leader rather than a follower in the fashion industry.

The response to Rihanna’s latest fashion statement has been overwhelmingly positive, with fashion critics and fans alike praising her innovative approach. Social media buzzed with discussions and accolades for her look, with many noting that Rihanna not only followed the trend but owned it, setting a benchmark that will be challenging for others to meet.

Rihanna’s influence extends beyond music into the realms of fashion and beauty, where she has already made significant marks with her brands, Fenty Beauty and Fenty Fashion. Her ventures are celebrated for promoting inclusivity and breaking conventional beauty standards, and her personal style continues to inspire both designers and fashion enthusiasts around the world.

As Rihanna continues to explore and set trends, her ability to stay at the forefront of fashion while pushing boundaries is what keeps her fans and the fashion industry captivated. By mastering the pantsless trend, Rihanna once again proves that she does more than just wear clothes; she communicates and sets trends, further cementing her legacy as a fashion powerhouse.

In a surprising turn of events, Rihanna was noticeably absent alongside A$AP Rocky in Hollywood tonight. Instead, she was spotted solo, donning a striking leopard print jacket and flashing a massive diamond ring that set tongues wagging and cameras flashing.

As Rihanna made her way through the bustling streets of Hollywood, all eyes were on her as she showcased her signature style and undeniable star power. The leopard print jacket added a touch of fierceness to her ensemble, while the gleaming diamond ring on her finger stole the spotlight and sparked speculation among onlookers.

While Rihanna’s absence from A$AP Rocky’s side raised questions about the status of their relationship, her confident demeanor and eye-catching accessories left no doubt that she remains a force to be reckoned with, both in the world of fashion and beyond.

As rumors swirl and fans eagerly await further updates on Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s relationship, one thing’s for sure – when Rihanna steps out, all eyes are on her, and tonight was no exception.
